November t», the Sophomore class proved conclusively thai an expenseless promenade may be just as much fun if not i -c so than a 'dinary one. The lack of elaborate decorations did not seem to dampen anyone's ardour, and there was a decided noveltj In buying ice-cream cones and cookies, the profits from which were destined to swell the fund for War Relief, "Home-made" programs were both amusing and attractive and gave scope to originality. Of the music furnished by Pauline Holmes, Elizabeth Lupfer and Viola Kneeland at the piano and drums, and several oilier girls playing- nkelcles, little need to he said it literally Spoke for itself, and could not have been sur- passed, il is certain, by B professional orchestra. The familiar announcements of "losts and founds" and numbers of dances were not lacking, and added to the general gaiety. In the afternoon Miss Young, Jeanne Hoisted and Prances Tar- sons received, while in the evening Miss Tufts stood in the receiving line. The whole affair Was very informal and perhaps, because of this every- one seemed to be having an especially good lime, for the regular dances and later the "cut- in" dances, seemed all too short. The end of the Festivities came, however, and the Sophomores ami Freshmen parted — somewhat weary, hut cer- tainly feeling thai they had become much better acquainted. WHERE OUR MONEY GOES. The War Relief Organisation voted at its last meeting to send $950 to the Armenian Relief and $150 to Madame DuprieS for Belgian children. The Friendship Fund has now reached $15,- 959.48 !

LAKEVIEW PRESS, PRINTERS. FRAMINGHAM. MASS. WE CAN DO IT. WITNESS: SOPHOMORE PROM. The strongest argument so far, for the keeping of Commencement activities in a simplified form, was given practical shape at the Sophomore Prom, last Saturday. It was just one bit more of the soundest evidence that if we set our minds to a serious consideration of how to keep our enter- tainments in a modified form, we can have social functions that not only serve their purpose in entertaining guests, but give us another oppor- tunity to realize more fully the talent we have here. To be more definite: The music provided for the dancing at the Prom, was not only adequate but better in many ways to any that we have had before. And the players were all college girls. To some this would almost indicate that here is a chance for the College Orchestra this spring. Why not have them play at Tree Day and Garden Party? Not only the music, but the simple ever- green decorations, the home-decorated programs and the refreshments sold for the War Relief Fund, made it possible for the Sophomores to give a thoroughly enjoyable entertainment for the Freshmen without taking a single cent from the class treasury, without putting any tax on the girls. Can any one doubt that with such a situation possible, we have indeed taken a step forward? There is surely no need for us ever to return to our former methods of either lavish ex- penditure or completely doing away with the event. Here is the conclusive evidence of the Sophomores that entertainment does not neces- sarily involve a great output of energy or money. Is it possible that the Seniors will neglect to profit by their experience? SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. Someone was bright enough to see that the tick- ets for the Junior Play would pay for themselves if they carried an advertisement on their reverse side; that the scenery for the play itself could be made by an ingenious committee, out of wrap- ping paper and lathes. Someone realized that dance music could be heard all over the Barn if the piano was moved to the center of the room. Someone saw that the seating capacity of Billings Hall could be much increased if chairs were placed on the platform. Moreover, those three persons, having had three ideas which will help the college to make the best of straightened war-time cir- cumstances, ceased talking about the present nec- essary economy and the postponed construction of more commodious college buildings and went to work to put their ideas into effect. To be sure, there is nothing very great about securing an "ad" for a Junior Play ticket or suggesting that some seats be put on Billings Hall stage. Indeed, both are such simple things that we wonder why in the world someone lias not thought of them be- fore; yet both are indicative of an ingenuity which Wellesley needs to develop more than ever before. Many a keen observer addressing a college au- dience has pointed out the valuable quality often developed by the self-taught boy or girl whose ma- terial advantages have been few— the quality of just being "handy," of making the most of what one has, the something needed out of nothing. Many a speaker on the same occasion has gone on to contrast with the practical originality and re- sourcefulness of the less intellectual youth, the passive quality of the college student with his usual willingness to follow in the path which in- structors point out and his unresisting, if grumb- ling, acceptance of circumstances as they are plan- ned for him. When we consider how long we have been dancing in the Barn to music which we could not hear when the remedy was so simple and so near at hand, we are almost ready to admit some justice in that contrast. Never before was it so desirable that Wellesley girls should find wholesome recreation within the college; never had they so little time and money to expend for mere pleasure. Never within re- cent years were the limitations placed upon mate- rial comforts and near-necessities so great; never was it more incumbent upon students to develop the latent possibilities around them. Never was the world's need for ingenious and resourceful young people more evident than in the present; never had women a better opportunity to develop these qualities than the problems of daily life in a college community now offer. Any number of bothersome details are awaiting constructive criticism and remedial action. Who, for instance, is going to devise and carry into effect before the next Barn function a way of serving — or rather, selling food — which will pre- vent crowding and pushing? Who is going to set on foot a movement which will make us realize that as consumers ours is the power and the obli- gation to prevent the sale of white bread in the tea rooms on wheatless days? Who is going to formulate in a sane and effective manner the college-wide protests against recent rulings of the Hygiene Department or who, explain to the students the sound logic which must be behind these rulings and which might if once expounded, dis- pell the present irritation at what is now felt to be unreasonable and unjust? "Who is going to see to it that some definite action follows the excellent suggestion in last week's Free Press col- umn that we send no Christmas cards to college friends this year; who is working out a scheme to save the time we usually waste waiting in line on the days we order and receive our railroad tickets? # When on this Thanksgiving we are taking into consideration the many advantages for which we as Wellesley women may be grateful, let us not overlook these latent possibilities, commonplace as they are. During this winter we are going to find out what sort of stuff Wellesley girls are made of, and a college-wide Thanksgiving resolu- tion to make the most of what we have at hand will help us to surprise ourselves agreeably.

It is not balm to that soreness for the following to occur : The Committee, in announcing the sale of tickets to begin at 8.40 Wednesday, Nov. 14, stated that "no person will be allowed to buy more than one ticket." Acting on this, some students went to their 8.40 classes without attempting to get tickets. Others stood in line for a few minutes before the period and then were allowed to ask the girl in front of them to buy their ticket when her turn came, in order that they might go to class. Thus, the girls who went directly to class, believing that no person would be allowed to buy more than one ticket, lost their chance of getting a ticket dur- ing the 9.40 period. Besides this, individual girls bought more than one ticket, without its being for a person at one time behind them in the line. I saw a girl buy so many that she was given nine instead of the eight that she asked for, by mis- take. Another girl bought six. Many bought two. The committee could have sold one ticket to a person at 3.00 o'clock Saturday afternoon at a place to be announced at 2.00 p. m., or it could have sold one ticket to a person, as announced in the News, and let academic appointments be the misfortune of those who had them. But what they did do was not fair. Because it was not, I think that an apology from the Lecture Course Committee is due the college. I. B., 1919. II. What Is Normality? In the various pleas for normality there has never been a definition of the term. In the minds of most it seems to be a vague condition of con- tented blessedness, lest we become in even a faint degree conscious of what is going on in the world about us. To me, normality means a clear-headed acceptance of our situation as a country at war, and the whole-hearted co-operation of each and every one of us in the program of our country's administration. This is a war-time normality. It would be abnormal in times of peace to forego many of the luxuries which it is at present our duty, without sentimentality, to sacrifice for our national good. Here in college we are so re- mote, so hedged about with the feminine halo- crowned idea of self-sacrifice, that, in a crisis, we seem to forget that we have ever been, or shall ever again be a part of the world. One writer desires to retain Tree Day and Senior Play in-her effort to keep the balance between "essentials" and "nonessentials." I do not advocate "giving up" anything for the divine purpose of sacrifice. I am heartily in favor of foregoing the lesser pleasures of college life, but I feel that we can- not conscientiously or sanely argue for functions which require the money and time that we owe to our nation or to ourselves in our individual sup- port of that nation. We have subscribed to The Friendship Fund. Each one of us has foregone pleasure to do so. Do we realize what Tree Day and Senior Play alone will mean to our check books? Do we realize that there will be ever- insistent calls for more money to be used in the cause of our national welfare? Our brothers and friends are giving their lives. We can d5 no less than show them that we are in earnest, and that our government means as much to us as it does to them. Women are many times accused of being sentimental in the face of facts; of cloaking in- difference, which is virtually cowardice, in the guise of "self-sacrifice." The days of the "female college" are over, it is time for college girls to show their national consciousness, and to give to their country the strength of their support. But there are other extravagances among us which are even more inexcusable than the reten- tion of commencement functions would be. It is not a square deal to ask these members of the college, whose allegiance to their alma mater is undivided to forego pleasures, while a group, smaller, it is true, yet unhappily more influential, continues to live the old life of "normality," with I II I.

Ill [n Defense of Foeshmah Methods. All over college there bus been general discus- sion of the value of the methods used in the Freshman houses for obtaining money for the Friendship Fund. When the call to earn money for lliis fund came In our house, wfi were up- lifted and inspired by the ideal of service il pre- sented, We were very earnest, and our resolu- linn In earn part of what we pledged was serious- ly made. Shortly our intentions were quietly man Ifested by little signs tacked up on our doors, stat- ing what we purposed to undertake, and how much we should charge. We enthusiastically soughi business from each oilier. Although a few girls were quite willing to be patronized, but unwill- ing to patronize, the general spirit was good ami the prospect encouraging, Then a reaction came. One day 1 shined a girl's shoes wliilr she darned my stockings. Her price was ten cents and mine was live. I began to won der why il woidd not be simpler ami fairer for me to give m\ ten cents directlj to the fund, in- stead of through another girl. Soon it became evident that tins useless exchange of labor and pennies was being observed and often ridiculed bj members of the college in general. Vier carefully considering litis matter from all sides, 1 have reached the conclusion that while, practically, the earning of money for the Friend- ship Fund is rather absurd, psychologicallj it is beneilcjal. it curtails a system of borrowing which had become almost socialistic in its lack of conception of properly as individual. Since our possessions have been tagged with the amount for which we are willing to rent them, they have not been so ruthlessly appropriated as formerly. Then, too. since We have realized that we are do- ing individual, not community work, we do not readily grant Ihe demands of OUT parasitic fellow Students 'for our written work "just to look al. not to copy." We realize thai our ideas are our own, that if some of them are valuable in obtain ing money, others are no less valuable in obtaining grades, that our fellows have no more right te J . M .

Will the girl who gave a New York Central coupon to the Friendship Fund please come to the C. A. office? Until its original owner is known, the coupon is useless. DURING CHRISTMAS VACATION. Word has been received from the Lord and Taylor book shop, under the management of Doubleday, Page and Company that they will con- s'der giving employment to a number of college girls during the holidays. Anyone wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should see Miss Bertha Jackson at once. Miss Jackson will prob- ably hold special office hours to meet these girls, in which case notice will be posted on the Ap- pointment Bureau Bulletin. This offer will be of special interest to those girls who wish to go into book store work after college. I II I. V\ I. I. I. J. - i.l. ^ I «<1. J Manncllii li"t Oil treatment* will stop Mir low).

MISS CASWELL ADDRESSES 1918- In her address to seniors on Thursday, Novem- ber 1.5, the Secretary of the Appointment Bureau laid stress upon four points: (1.) The use of the Bureau is open to all who have been students in the College at any time. (2.) The service once secured through registra- tion remains operative as long as the applicant desires, without additional fee. (3.) The work of the Bureau includes all vocations. (4.) The Bu- reau is occupied not only in making nominations but also in answering enquiries regarding candi- dates who are named by others. This latter half of the function of the Bureau, though not so generally recognized, is scarcely less important than the other. An enquiry regarding a candi- date cannot be answered in a way to give her every possible advantage, unless there is some organized means of collecting the needed infor- mation and keeping it in readiness for use. Such an instrument the Appointment Bureau aims to be. The value of this service is especially evi- dent in the case of enquiries made a year or more after the candidate has left the College. The Secretary then referred to special exped- ients in the work; the bulletin board and "the card- catalogue of agencies, the addresses under the management of the committee on vocational guid- ance, conferences at stated times or in any office- hour, photographs of candidates and inexpensive ways in which copies of photographs may be ob- tained. She noted the relation between school- work and business, as in teaching such branches as commercial arithmetic, commercial geography, or bookkeeping; the combination of teaching and the practical and expressive as in hygiene, art, and music; the element of social service as in teach- ing community civics, working with the deaf or blind, with backward children or immigrant pupils, or in various settlement schools and schools under home missionary organizations. In making the HELP UNCLE SAM Conserve Cotton and Wool Both are needed for war purposes Low priced practical Silk Underwear At Madame Whitney's Ivy Corset Shop Room, 29 The Waban Wellesley point that teaching is throughout the most prac- tical and penetrating form of social service, the Secretary quoted from a member of 1915 as fol- lows: "I have liked the teaching so much that now I believe that it would be unwise to give it up even for the Y. W. C A. work that I had counted on. Xci form of work seems to offer a larger opportunity for permanent social service than teaching, especially when so many are being called from it into the ranks of the needed war-workers. English and Community Civics are my subjects. The latter is rather new in the schools, hence it give, the teacher initiative in working out her subject." A few more registrations can be received from members of 1918, but after December 20, the fee must be raised from $1.25 to .$2.25. Out of the 119 members of 1917 registering 69 are known to have been placed. The Secretary deplored the large number of members that can- not be included in this tabulation since they have sent in no information regarding themselves. Of the 69 placed the percentages of instrumentality are as follows: Appointment Bureau 30, Agencies 19, personal friends 15, personal efforts of candi- dates 23, not stated 13. The average salary for teaching positions for 1917 is $623.85; the average for the 15 business positions, $807.45. It was noted, however, that the two or three high salaries in the business positions which bring up this average are probably in all cases for the entire business year of twelve months with only the legal holidays and a vacation of two weeks. A review of the month of October showed daily opportunities of placing both inexperienced and experienced candidates in teaching and business positions. A notable feature was a call from the Gun Division of the War Department for an al- most unlimited number of women not only for clerical positions but for positions requiring tech- nical skill. It has been difficult to turn these positions to the advantage of inexperienced can- didates because so many members of recent classes have not been heard from. It has also proved difficult to give experienced workers the promotion for which these calls afford opportunity, since in so many cases alumnae have neglected to send in their whereabouts, the character of work done, and the compensation received; or if ap- proached, respond so slowly to inquiry. The Sec- retary showed that not only for the sake of the efficiency of the Bureau but also for the timely advancement of graduates in the vocational career the points in the agreement adopted have the greatest value. One agency places upon its folders "We have promoted 5000 people, why not you?" Without assuming such figures, the Sec- retary aims constantly at promotions within the proper limits, and thus points once more to the advantage in acting upon the form of agree- ment : "While seeking a position: (1) To reply at once to all letters relating to the Appointment Bureau, and to act promptly upon all notices. (2). To in- form the Bureau at once whether she has or has not applied for a position of which she has been notified by the Bureau. (3). To inform the Bureau at once if she has secured a position or if for any reason she decides to withdraw her name from the active list. "Having secured a position: (1) To inform the Bureau at once of the position secured, using the form furnished for the purpose. "Having entered upon work: (1) To send to the Bureau each spring or summer a statement oi plans for the next year, and to give notice earlj in the autumn if any changes in this plan have been made. (2) To extend the work of the Bu- reau: («) by informing the secretary of positions • which may be filled by Wellesley candidates; (b) By making the Bureau known to employers, that they may consult if they have positions to be filled.

On Friday evening, November 17, the Bird Club held a meeting in the Zoology building. The sub- ject under discussion was "The Winter Birds in the Vicinity of Wellesley." Eleanor Carroll gave the Club a surprisingly long list of the birds that have permanent homes here. She gave descrip- tions of the birds, showing stuffed specimens of many of them, and told where they could be seen most often. Dorothy Doremus told of the eco- nomic value of birds to the farmer, through their destruction of insects, rodents and seeds of in- jurious plants. In this connection it was sug- gested that posters be put up showing the im- portance of these birds to the farmer. Helen Whiting explained how to attract the birds in the winter. Feeding stations, Supplied with suet and grain, and shelters from wind and snow were the principal means she described. R. N. and P. G., 1920. ONE MORE LITTLE BIT THAT WE CAN DO. There is now posted on the C. A. board the names of about eighty missionaries who are sta- tioned all over Hie world. All of them are most THE WELLESLEY NATIONAL BANK WELLESLEY, MASS. The faculty and students of Wellesley College are in- vited to avail themselves of the privileges and services offered by this Bank, and the officers and employees are ever ready to render any assistance possible in connection with banking matters. C. N. TAYLOR, President BENJ. H. SANBORN, V.-President LOUIS HARVEY, Cashier SAVINGS DEPARTMENT SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES interesting and doing a hard and wonderful work. A number of them are Wellesley girls; conse- quently we should feel there is a strong bond be- tween them and us. Everything in our power is being done now to alleviate the suffering of the war, etc., but in our thought of this we must not forget there are those who long for a line from home. These missionaries are in a foreign land, among strange people and hearing a strange tongue. Think what it means to them to get a letter from America; it does not matter whether from a personal friend just so it contains a bit of ' news from home. Don't leave it for someone else to do, but take this chance to send a word of cheer and a spirit of good will over the seas and write a Christmas letter to one of these missionaries. Sign your name beside one of those on the list and write a good long letter. The names and ad- dresses of these missionaries are catalogued and can be found in the filing cabinet of the C. A. office. Here also can be found interesting bits of information concerning them and any letters they have ever written to the girls in college. Your letters should be mailed before Thanksgiving in order to reach their destination in time. Helen Bernard, Chairman. CHANGES OF ADDRESS. '93. Mrs. Wm. H. Emerson (Clara B. Count) to 406 W.
